Gluten Free Stocking Stuffers

Stuffing a gluten free dieters stocking can prove to be a difficult task. However, if you're faced with that dilemma, you'll be delighted to know that your options run far and wide.

Fortunately the wide array of products now available to gluten free people everywhere will make things much easier for the gift giving season. As a gluten free person who is in contact with lots of other gluten free folks, I have a good idea about where to begin your stocking stuffer adventure for your gluten free friend or loved one. You can even find some great sweet stuff!

Sweet Stuff

Candy

If rich decadent chocolate is what you're looking for, you have a great option with a company called "Gotta Eat Sweets". This company provides beautiful smooth blends of truffles that are gluten and soy free. Not only that, these gluten free treats are made from scratch! How impressive is that? In a variety of luscious flavors, you'll be able to find these sweet delicacies online.

Sprinkles

As a mom who suspects that one or more of her kids has a gluten problem, I recently found some sprinkles for their ice cream made by "Edward and Sons". They come in a variety of flavors that include carnival, chocolate, and a confetti version. The vivid and striking hues that amuse the eye are derived from a variety of fruits, veggies and seeds.

Cookies

This cookbook called "Enjoy Life's Cookies for Everyone" by Leslie Hammond and Betsy Laakso, focuses on gluten free cookie baking that is also free of dairy, soy, tree nuts, eggs, and peanuts. I love it because it's chocked full of gluten free choices for holidays that include yummy scones, breads and bars. It also has options for sugar free baking. I think anyone that's gluten free and bakes would greatly appreciate this book. It's a valuable part of my own kitchen.

Kitchen Gadgets

Small Grain Strainer

Why not include something like this strainer from "Oxo Good Grips" that does a great job rinsing small grains like quinoa, millet, and teff, grains commonly used for gluten free cooking? This little strainer is known among gluten free circles as a handy little gadget mostly due to it's fantastic design. I found it rather reasonably priced as well at $19.95.

Grinder

Personally, I don't own one of these however a couple of friends I have do and rave about the great consistency they're able to achieve with small amounts of gluten free grains that they need to make flour from for baking or cooking gluten free food. That translates into smooth non-gritty bakery! Not to mention the great job it does with coffee as well!
